Universal Credit Carers Element
Summary
The Carers Element in Universal Credit is a single amount added to your award if eligible, not doubled for couples. For two disabled people on PIP, the monthly amount includes a standard allowance and Carers Element. Transitional protection ensures you dont receive less than previous benefits. If Jobcentre closes your claim due to missed appointments, you can appeal, especially if disability is a factor. You can refuse a home visit for ID checks, suggesting alternatives like online verification. Jobcentre policies prioritize security, but they should consider reasonable adjustments for disabilities.Full Conversation
so it is just one for both not two if we look after each other and both on pip
Yes, that's correct. If both you and your partner are looking after each other and both receive Personal Independence Payment (PIP), only one Carer's Element will be added to your Universal Credit award. It's not doubled even if both of you qualify.
